Beverly Crippen

Beverly Crippen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience. She holds LCSW licensure in California and Utah and practices from Utah. Beverly works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting struggles, and questions about life purpose.

Her background includes work in adoption and foster care, addiction recovery, mental health hospital outpatient programs, faith-based family services clinics, and private practice. That range of settings shaped a practical approach to day-to-day problems and to crises that can come from past trauma or emotional abuse.

Beverly uses a client-centered stance that assumes people can find their own solutions when given respect and encouragement. Sessions draw on cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also incorporates mindfulness, stress management tools, and work with inner-child themes when relevant.

In a typical session she listens first, clarifies what matters now, and then suggests small, concrete steps to try between meetings. She uses conversation, thought-challenging exercises, and simple behavioral practices rather than long lectures or abstract theory.

People who come when feeling stuck about work, parenting, or relationships will find a practitioner who focuses on practical changes and steady support. Beverly encourages realistic pacing and works collaboratively to adjust the approach as needs evolve.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy places the client's perspective at the center. Beverly listens for what matters most and helps people name goals. This approach supports people who feel uncertain about next steps or want more direction in work or relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and actions. Beverly uses CBT to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to design small behavioral experiments that test new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, or relationship conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Beverly will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit how a person prefers to work. That collaborative process means the plan can change over time based on what helps.

Confirm current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. For issues like parenting stress, relationship problem-solving, or testing CBT exercises between meetings, online work can make it simpler to practice new skills in daily life.
